We examined to what extent self-measurement of blood pressure at home (HBP) can be an alternative to ambulatory monitoring (ABP) to diagnose white-coat hypertension.
In 247 untreated patients, we compared the white-coat effects obtained by HBP and ABP. The thresholds to diagnose hypertension were > or = 140/> or = 90 mmHg for conventional blood pressure (CBP) and > or = 135/> or = 85 mmHg for daytime ABP and HBP.
Mean systolic/diastolic CBP, HBP and ABP were 155.4/100.0, 143.1/91.5 and 148.1/95.0 mmHg, respectively. The white-coat effect was 5.0/3.5 mmHg larger on HBP compared with ABP (12.3/8.6 versus 7.2/5.0 mmHg; P < 0.001). The correlation coefficients between the white-coat effects based on HBP and ABP were 0.74 systolic and 0.60 diastolic (P < 0.001). With ABP as a reference, the specificity of HBP to detect white-coat hypertension was 88.6%, and the sensitivity was 68.4%.
Our findings are in line with the recommendations of the ASH Ad Hoc Panel that recommends HBP for screening while ABP has a better prognostic accuracy.
我们研究了家庭自测血压(HBP)在多大程度上可以替代动态血压监测(ABP)来诊断白大衣高血压。
在247例未经治疗的患者中,我们比较了通过HBP和ABP获得的白大衣效应。诊断高血压的阈值为常规血压(CBP)≥140/≥90 mmHg,日间ABP和HBP≥135/≥85 mmHg。
平均收缩压/舒张压CBP、HBP和ABP分别为155.4/100.0、143.1/91.5和148.1/95.0 mmHg。与ABP相比,HBP的白大衣效应收缩压/舒张压高5.0/3.5 mmHg(12.3/8.6对7.2/5.0 mmHg;P<0.001)。基于HBP和ABP的白大衣效应之间的相关系数收缩压为0.74,舒张压为0.60(P<0.001)。以ABP为参照,HBP检测白大衣高血压的特异性为88.6%,敏感性为68.4%。
我们的研究结果与美国高血压学会特设小组的建议一致,该小组建议用HBP进行筛查,而ABP具有更好的预后准确性。
